Let’s write a future more joyful & less inevitable in segments of leaves. 
Anything we dream will be better than this.

death cannot harm me 
more than you have harmed me, 
my beloved life.

Let’s be hungry a little while longer. Let’s not hurt each other if we can.

I am the sterile offspring of a race about which I know nothing, not even whether it has become extinct. Perhaps, somewhere, humanity is flourishing under the stars, unaware that a daughter of its blood is ending her days in silence. There is nothing we can do about it.

A joke I was once told goes, I didn’t choose this life, this life chose me. Fuck that. Choose a hell of your own making over the hell  that unmakes you. Flower a garden of rage & eat & eat & eat.

you, whose shelf life is zero,
you, who keep me from totality
and the small sum of what
is otherwise infinite.

If I ever strangled sparrows,
it was only because I dreamed
of better songs.

Someone has replaced your heart with raw meat.
That delicacy. I’m working on a trick
where I come across sated.
Where I don’t remember how to be ravenous.
